I found a superb Daniel Fraser takedown rifle CASED lying at the bottom of a pile and not listed on any website. It went home with me.

Some photos from the last visit...most of those are double rifles on the racks. It's like that all over the place. Here's what I mean about piles and stacks...this was laying underneath some boxes and magazines...with ammo!!

577 BPE howdah pistol...

Yes, he's right...the best part is to sit in the vault and listen while sorting through the piles around you and looking at whatever he hands you or catches your eye. On 2 trips, I have picked up the broom handle Mauser off the freaking floor and said when are you going to list this one? George just says, I haven't gotten around to it yet. I have spent many hours there. Then you go back into the main area and just start sorting through the stacks of gun cases and guns lying everywhere.

Yea it is a glorious mess Great history right there in it's own right. Some cool old machines that J.J. did not take to his new shop on Keystone Lake. Buy a gun and then dig for ammo or components before you leave.

I was just poking around yesterday in the box full of cool components and molds i got with that Paradox. George came up with it amoungst the milliing machines in that big neglected shop area

100%. I found a cool Manufrance 16 gauge paradox double and then asked about components. George said there's a case around here somewhere for it. I looked and not only was there a case but a paradox mould AND an extra set of 12 gauge shotgun barrels numbered to the gun! It came home with me. There is no order to it but George knows most of what's there. I just wonder what he forgot that is underneath something!

If you get a chance to visit JJ at Keystone lake near Tulsa, that is also a great place. I love his shop and property. If you really want to get JJ talking, just ask him about his fishing hobby.
